Married At First Sight Australia is welcoming another larger-than-life groom to the experiment, and Daniel Hewitt is already shaping up to be a fan favourite.
A former tradie turned real estate and businessman, Danny brings swagger, heart and a big personality- but insists that beneath the tattoos and confidence is a man ready for real love.
From the UK to Australia
Originally from the UK, Danny made the move to Australia in his 20s and quickly fell in love with the country he now proudly calls home.
What started as a new adventure soon became a permanent lifestyle, with Danny embracing everything Australia has to offer- including the opportunity to reinvent himself both personally and professionally. He now lives in Victoria.
Danny dropped his high vis for a suit and tie
Danny’s career journey is a testament to his drive and ambition- once a tradie, he pushed himself to reach greater heights in real estate and finance.
These days, it’s less high-vis workwear and more three-piece suits, but he hasn’t lost the grit that helped him get there.
Covered in tattoos and full of confidence, Danny admits he gives off a strong swagger, though he says it hides a much softer side.
Danny claims he’s a ‘soft teddy bear’
Despite his tough exterior, Danny describes himself as a “soft and cuddly teddy bear.”
He’s self-aware enough to acknowledge that his dating history hasn’t always been perfect.
In the past, his player ways cost him relationships with “great girls”- a regret that has stayed with him.
Danny insists those mistakes were lessons learned, and he’s adamant he would never behave that way again.
How does Danny describes himself?
One of Danny’s strongest traits is his loyalty.
He is fiercely protective of the people he loves and prides himself on always having his partner’s back.
Never one to stay silent, Danny isn’t afraid to speak his mind or stand up for his woman, firmly believing that a man should always put himself in harm’s way to protect his partner.
It’s an old-school mindset that could either charm or challenge his future bride.
Searching is searching for his ‘ride or die’
When it comes to love, Danny knows exactly what he’s looking for.
He wants a “ride or die” partner- a strong woman who lights a fire in his belly, keeps him on his toes and can always make him laugh.
For Danny, humour, strength and unwavering loyalty are non-negotiables.
As Danny enters the MAFS Australia 2026 experiment, he does so with hope, self-awareness and a determination to prove he’s no longer the man he once was.
Whether his past will resurface or his softer side will shine through is unknown- but one thing’s certain: Danny is ready to fight for love.
When does MAFS Australia 2026 start?
The 13th season of MAFS Australia will start on February 2, 2026, at 7:30pm on Channel Nine.
